Kez Dota 2

Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov, a Dota 2 commentator, stated that Kez, the new Dota 2 hero, is incredibly powerful, but only the best players who understand the mechanics will be able to play him effectively.

His opinion was published on the Paragon Events Dota 2 Telegram channel.

"This is a hero for die-hard players. In unskilled hands, he brings zero impact, but in the hands of top players—he’ll be intense! His potential in the super late game is huge: even with just Aghanim's, he’s terrifying, but only about one percent of players will know how to use him right"

According to Maelstorm, the hero is extremely strong in the late game. However, he believes that only those who truly understand the key mechanics of Dota 2 and put in considerable time on the hero will be able to unlock his full potential.

This perspective contrasts sharply with statements from Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, who claimed that Kez currently can’t stand up to the meta in the late game.
